hpliplite packages are "lite" versions of the Hewlett-Packard's Linux Imaging and Printing software HPLIP.
They allow Printing and also Scanning (for HP PSC models, for instance).

Dynamic ppd versions are much lighter than previous static ones, since do not contain static ppds.
Instead, ppds are generated dynamically for capable versions of cups, such as 1.3.11 in Quirky or 1.4.x in lupu.
The dynamical packages have been compiled and tested in Wary and should also be suited for Quirky, Precise and, hopefully, lupu and slacko.
Please note that they are NOT functional for standard puppy's, up to and including 4.3.1.
Those versions REQUIRE STATIC hpliplite packages, obtainable from http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=184635&search_id=133786018#184635

Hi,
I am wondering if someone can make a pet package for latest version of hplip, not just lite.

The reason being the other epson printer I have, Epson made their own linux version called iscan, that one enables me to use the scan button on the printer so I can scan a large volume of pages in very short time(I have kids), just press the scan button, it will save to a file with a sequence number.

My HP F4480 also have a scan button, but it doesn't work in hpliplite, I am thinking maybe the full package of hplip the scan button will work.

Some models of HP printers require plugins. This is not automatically handled by hpliplite. I have packed a package trying to fill this gap. The package's name is hp_plugin_install.pet
and is included in the first message of this thread. The package has been tested in Wary for a HP LaserJet Professional P 1102w
printer by forum member autogestion. Many thanks to autogestion for his patience and assistance!

I installed the pets in the reverse (bottom-up) order listed. Xsane did not recognize the scanner until I installed hp-plugin-install.pet. It actually did not download anything off the internet as I was not connected. It did run the install script from the pet and that seemed to fix it so my printer/scanner was recognized by Xsane.

I do not know how to look inside a pet to see what the scripts do. I may have created a missing simlink or an empty file.
